I finally took the plunge and Jurassic Park far exceeded all my expectations. I also learned I had pretty low expectations, but I had a great time with this classic that spurred one of my favorite movies as a kid. BTW, anyone else root for the dinosaurs? It makes the movie way less scary, let me tell you.

So this book was published in 1990 and this book had maybe a total of
15 to 20 people at risk, not counting the rest of the world that could
potentially be at risk by dinosaurs escaping. We’re talking people
you’re honestly worried about dying or not throughout the book.
Jump to 2015, Jurassic World, and we’ve got an entire park open with
thousands and thousands of people at risk. Does that say something about
how our society’s penchant for destruction?
